Unless You Get Fired

Eight a.m 

alarm—
on vibrate—missed

your 

window—things
look ugly—can't

look forward, can't

go backward—just
try getting

sunlight from a dark-

roast coffee!

Shut your eyes

then—only listen

to all the ignorant
birds and
bugs who only know their season—

the busy buzz of
bees is pretty
sweet no matter
which o'clock

disgraces morning.
